hi all, what do I put in lts.conf to make gnome the default session?

<rickogden>
does anyone know why I would get the error "failed to connect to NBD server" when I set NBD_SWAP to false in the lts.conf?
04:13
<alkisg>
NBD_SWAP is false by default
04:13
So it shouldn't matter if you set it to false..

alkisg: hi, I'm trying to get round the problem of needing to break on boot
04:21
<alkisg>
Ah. This does have nothing to do with swapping
04:21
NBD serves the virtual client hard disk, /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img
04:22
<rickogden>
ah right
04:22
<alkisg>
Here's a bug that I filed for nbd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nbd/+bug/420587
04:23
This is _not_ your problem, but it's the same problem on another script (ltsp_nbd instead of just nbd)
04:23
<rickogden>
ah right
04:23
<alkisg>
So file a bug in launchpad about this. To work around it, insert a delay in ltsp_nbd
04:23
<rickogden>
is there any work-around that you suggest (such as sleep for a few seconds)?
04:24
where's ltsp_nbd, in the client chroot or on the server?
04:24
<alkisg>
The client chroot
04:24
you need to update the kernel afterwards - not the image
04:24
(chroot update-initramfs -u && ltsp-update-kernels)
04:24
<rickogden>
thanks
04:25
<alkisg>
File the bug there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp
04:25
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/ltsp_nbd
04:26
<rickogden>
where should I put the delay?
04:26
<alkisg>
After this line: ip link set lo up
04:26
put `sleep 5 ` there...
04:27
What are your client specs? So that I try to get my hands on a similar client to reproduce this...
04:27
<rickogden>
erm... one sec, they're new computers, I'll get the details
04:28
3ghz core2duo, 4gb RAM

hi guys im trying to add a new user account in the terminal window. I have forgot the command
04:32
sudo add user?
04:32
doesnt work
04:33
<rickogden>
sudo adduser
04:33
<garymc>
that dont work either
04:33
<rickogden>
does useradd work?
04:33
<garymc>
no
04:34
:(
04:34
<alkisg>
garymc: distro/version?
04:34
<garymc>
i know its a simple command. just forgot
04:34
Im ubunto
04:34
<rickogden>
how is it authenticating? Using /etc/passwd?
04:34
or an external system (eg. LDAP)?
04:34
<garymc>
i know its just add user or something like that
04:34
<alkisg>
garymc: try `sudo adduser`. It should work.
04:34
<klausade>
garymc: what is the error message when you try adduser?
04:34
<alkisg>
If not, paste the error message on pastebin.
04:35
(sudo adduser username - don't forget the username)
04:35
<rickogden>
garymc: adduser is the interactive way of adding users in ubuntu
04:35
<garymc>
damn i forgot to add the name after sudo adduser JOHN
04:35
whoops.... thanks guys
04:35

is this guide valid for Lucid? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnableLTSP5LocalDevices
05:07
<alkisg>
Localdev should work out of the box on any recent ubuntu versions
05:07
<rickogden>
ah ok... doesn't seem to be with my weird setup :/
05:08
I'm working through the debug
05:08
<alkisg>
LOCALDEV is true by default, and all the ltspfs* software is preinstalled
05:08
I think also in lucid it isn't even necessary to add the clients to the fuse group
05:09
What are you trying with? A usb stick? An internal disk?
05:09
<rickogden>
both
05:09
and neither are mounted
05:09
<alkisg>
Internal disks need another parameter which isn't enabled by default
05:10
LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS=False
05:11
<rickogden>
the entry is in the ltspfs_fstab
05:11
I'm not too bothered about the local disk (for the moment)
05:11
just pen drive
05:11
<alkisg>
What file system does it have?
05:11
<rickogden>
fat32
05:12
and it's correct in the ltspfs_fstab file
05:16
alkisg: where does it mount to by default?
05:29
<alkisg>
There are some (a little oudated) localdev debugging steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev - but I don't know about any details as I don't usually use localdevs...
05:32ogra_cmpc has quit IRC
05:33
<rickogden>
alkisg, yeah I've worked my way through them
05:33
I'm just about to do step 4
05:33
but the others are all perfect
05:34
however /var/run/drives/usbdsik-sdb1/ (which is where it says the mountpoint is), is empty... so I'm not sure what's happening there
05:37
<klausade>
rickogden: I recently had a fight with ltspfs (mounting usb-drives), turned out that my users wasn't properly added to the fuse group when they logged on. Make sure that "id username" mentions group membership in fuse. Worth a try.
05:37ogra_cmpc has joined #ltsp
05:38
<rickogden>
klausade: yeah, they are
05:39
however, doing step 4 it has come up with NXFOLDER is (null) and NX_ROOT is (null)
05:39
not sure why it's coming up with the NX stuff

Hi. I have a "normal" ltsp, where pxelinux.cfg/default is kernel ltsp/i386/vmlinuz ro initrd=ltsp/i386/initrd.img quiet root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp boot=nfs
08:30
This gets its root from /opt/ltsp/i386
08:30
Then I have made a kiosk, which is in /opt/ltsp/kiosk/i386
08:31vongrippen_ has joined #ltsp
08:31
<leifnel>
How Do I add this to the option line in pxelinux.cfg/default?
08:31vongrippen_ has quit IRC
08:31
<Appiah>
what option?
08:31
just edit the current one?
08:32
<leifnel>
to get root from /opt/ltsp/kiosk/i386 instead of /opt/ltsp/i386
08:33
<Appiah>
thats in the dhcp option
08:33
<leifnel>
root=/dev/nfs doesn't tell that it's /opt/ltsp/i386, but that what it gets root from.
08:33komunista has joined #ltsp
08:33
<leifnel>
so it must be default
08:33
<Appiah>
"next-server" if you are using a *nix dhcp server
08:33
dhcpd.conf
08:34
ops wait
08:34
not next server
08:34cliebow has joined #ltsp
08:34
<Appiah>
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
08:34
thats what the line looks like
08:34
edit that one
08:35
<leifnel>
But I like it in pxelinux.cfg/options, so I can select different ways, kiosk, normal, install etc
08:35
<Appiah>
so you want a boot menu? :)
08:35
<leifnel>
I have one, yes.
08:37
http://pastebin.com/qvA4Hwkr
08:38
It must be possible to put root-path in boot menu
08:39
<Appiah>
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
08:39
nfsroot= [NFS] nfs root filesystem for disk-less boxes. See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
08:40
http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt
08:42
<leifnel>
Trying that now. (Love vmware emulation)
08:44
Kiosk got started now, but I also edited dhcpd.conf. Trying to put it back
08:47
Yup. Works perfectly now. Thanx :-)
08:50mikkel has quit IRC
08:57
<leifnel>
I'm back :-) If I want different startpages for different kiosks, how do I do that without having a complete root for each kiosk?
08:58
Oh well, like Scarlet O'Hara: I'll think about that tomorrow :-)
08:58
bye
